however, for most of us, the habit of having three meals a day wont be broken anytime soon.

clear all

Explanation:

To determine the best concluding sentence, we analyze each option:

• The first option focuses on a future trend of more meals, which may not relate to the essay's main topic (likely about the history of mealtime traditions).
• The second option, "Now you know the curious history of how breakfast, lunch, and dinner mealtime traditions began," effectively wraps up an essay about the history of these mealtime traditions by summarizing the content and providing a clear conclusion.
• The third option introduces personal opinions and irrelevant details (family eating cereal for dinner), which is not appropriate for a conclusion.
• The fourth option talks about the habit of three meals a day not being broken, which may not align with an essay about the history of mealtime traditions.

Answer:

B. Now you know the curious history of how breakfast, lunch, and dinner mealtime traditions began.
